Chef Matthew Kershaw offers items such as Pingue charcuterie, bacon-wrapped fries, gluten-free gnocchi, Thai chicken and shrimp meatballs, deboned and stuffed chicken wings, interesting salads, and decadent desserts — all on small, sharable plates. Their service is well-informed but casual, in a warm, candle-lit space. Their wine list focuses on great finds that aren’t available in the LCBO.

While they love meat more than some people love their first-born child, they are always very happy to accommodate those who don’t — vegetarians and vegans are welcome! Also, for those of you that are glutarded, we offer almost everything with gluten-free alternatives.

If you love chain restaurants, you probably won’t love The Alex. And that’s ok.
